Beardsley Ruml, treasurer of RKH, and Macy's in New York City figure in Cedar Rapids involvement as Ruml's plan for a pay as you earn income tax faces mixed response. Congress defeated a bill but some members keep the idea alive, while Ruml remains confident that public discussion will spur action.

Governor Hickenlooper’s Mother Treated Before Iowa Visit
Gov. Bourke B. Hickenlooper kept his mother’s illness private until she was well enough to travel to Des Moines. She was treated at home before moving to the capital city hospital. The Iowa Press Association elected K. C. Crabb as president and Rep. G. E. Whitehead as vice president amid two days of remarks on wartime cooperation. Old age pension rolls in Iowa declined in March as war labor drew seniors into the workforce, with 54,396 people on the rolls and an average pension of 22.32 dollars. The peak rolls exceeded 57,000.
